Thanks, I looked
into the man pages of par() and
did not into the ones of plot()
Sorry about it,
Agus

plot(runif(10,0,10),runif(10,10,30),xlim=c(0,10),ylim=c(10,30), asp=1)
asp is the aspect parameter and ensures x & y metrics are the same (try the plot without it).

To save more space you will need to inform the plotting system you want a portrait perspective plot and control the size of the canvas. You can also drag the handles of the plot as the asp = 1 will maintain the metric relationship ... and rely on Brian Ripley's graphics drivers to deliver the information you want into a form you can incorporate elsewhere,

Hi!

If I'm plotting 2 variables with the same units
(i.e. wing length of 2 species), how can I force that X
and Y axes have the same size for length unit? For example, if
X ranges from 0 to 10 and Y ranges from 10 to 30, I want
Y axis to be twice as long as X axis. I know I can just
put xlim and ylim from 0 to 30, i.e.,
plot(runif(10,0,10),runif(10,10,30),xlim=c(0,30),ylim=c(0,30))

but this is a waste of space.

Thanks
